I understand that most of us
don't have the means to personally stop what's happening and there are many domestic victims of the US regime, but there's something very grim and galling about seeing Americans post "we must find moments of joy" every time our government murders children.

so like it doesn't even make the top 5 list of reasons not to use AI (ethical, moral etc) but putting aside everything else the concept phase should be where ideas are at their most HUGE and BOLD and uniquely yours, you're sifting for river rocks in your mind and they HAVE to be your own
The law is a victory for Israel’s far right and reflects the country’s shift to the right in the wake of the Hamas-led attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, and the Gaza war that followed. The death penalty has long been legal in Israel, but only two people have been executed in the country’s 78-year history. The law makes death by hanging the default sentence in Israeli military courts trying Palestinians accused of killing people in militant attacks. Israeli citizens — both Jewish and Palestinian-Arab — could also face the death penalty for attacks that aim to “negate the existence of the state of Israel.” However, experts say the chances of it being applied to Jewish Israelis are minuscule.
The death penalty but it only applies to one ethnic group in the seperate courts you’ve set up to try them in www.nytimes.com/2026/03/30/w...

Today is my birthday!!!!!🎂🎈Please look at my OC!!!!🥹 thank you.....
Part of this might just be a natural change in interests. Like my current obsession is fantasy novels so I guess it makes sense that that's what I've become interested in making! Anyway not gonna force it. Either the spark comes back or it doesn't. I still love the comics I've made!!
I'm hoping this will allow me to get interested in comics as a hobby again. I still think of myself as a "comics person", but I've realized I barely read or draw comics for pleasure anymore, and that bums me out severely
I think it's accurate at this point to say that I don't really Enjoy making comics anymore, or at least on the same level that I used to. I'm putting my all into my next book and I hope it finds a loving audience! But I'm putting a pin in my comics "career" after it's done
I crunched unnecessarily hard to finish Maelstrom (I could have asked for an extension but didn't) for two years and at the end of it all the book's release did not change my life or career in any way except that friends and family thought it was pretty cool (hehe)
this year so far has been all about renegotiating my relationship with comics. I think I've come a long way in the last few months! For a VERY long time, I struggled with the burnout of finishing my first graphic novel, and I had every advantage in the form of an understanding editor/publisher
that's such an awesome achievement, congrats!!!!
Let’s see, a new pinned post maybe.
I am an illustrator and I also make pictures with my own hands for animation and games sometimes.
the joke doesn't work because if there's one thing in this life I'm certain of it's that my TBR is neverending and will always provide
when goodreads automatically emails me to be like "you finished [book]!! what's next?" and I gotta be like I don't know goodreads. I really just don't know

This is gorgeouss oh my god
A sketch of Love and Death framed in an oval composition. The word "Aspettami" (Wait for Me) is written at the bottom. Death is ghostly green with matching pale wings. Half of their face begins to reveal a skull but is slightly covered by a dark semi-transparent veil. Their clothes and veil are a dark green that appears almost black and is lined/embroidered in gold thread and tasseled beads. They wear a couple of gold rings on their hands with one bearing a bright red gem. Death gazes to the side, searching for their lover who leans above them from behind. Love has pale red skin and flaming red wings and hair to match. Their hair is wavy and shoulder length, which is partially styled into a bow at the front and a top bun in the back of their head. Pinning their bun in place is a golden arrow hairpin placed in the bun with red gems and a pearl. Love is dressed in dark maroon clothes with giant golden puffy sleeves with a flair of lace at the wrist. With one hand they reach to gently cup the face of Death, while the other holds a red rose by their beloved's head.
"Do you miss me my darling? As I miss you?
Take my hand and pull me near
And never let me go again my dear"
Happy Valentine's Day💘
